    I know it's a very worthy message, and my heart goes out to the family concerned; I can't even begin to imagine the grief they are going through on a daily basis. But that road safety ad where little fella loses his life in a RTA caused by a drunk driver is beginning to wear a bit thin at this stage. When did that ad first screen; a couple of years back? And it's back on again now. And it seems to be on in a high proportion of ad breaks.

    Those interminable Lotto ads. "It's the 16th country I've seen them in on this tour jackpat". What the hell is "jackpat"? Is it those two fellas you met down the pub last night, Jack and Pat?

    A truly awful advert

    What’s the story with the new bank of Ireland ads. The one with the kid and his teddy. I think I know what they are trying to say but really what’s coming across to me is ‘sad kid only has bear in his life as his parents have to leave yet another house due to being unable to get a mortgage.’ Thanks a lot bank of Ireland ye heartless fcukerz.

    The AIB ads. Christ they are bad. Full of south Dubs talking ****e “ do you like your new playhouse Dylan” and the token diversity then in the new car one. Even the billboard one is for the rugger south dub brigade “ promised an away match for 8 years” ..painful..we own AIB aswell so we’re paying to advertise to ourselves

    Just seen the latest VF ad (the exchange student one where the gombeen says the French girl has beautiful horses). They've got the market in dreadful ads sewn up, haven't they?

    The Vodafone ad with the French foreign exchange student takes the biscuit.

    Unbelievable ****e.

    Where the hell the vodafone come up with this life is full of first nonsense as if it relates to mobile phones in the slightest.

    When did all this worthiness come into advertising mostly in the past ads tried to get your attention with humour whereas now it seems being really really earnest and caring is the way they want to go.Just a symptom I guess of the way the world has gone in general in recent years.

    The new Bank of Ireland ad. Finger nails dragging on a blackboard would sound better.

    Even worse than Maroon five butchering a decent Bob Marley tune in my honest opinion. Banks pretending to be our protectors when they would turf families out in the street in a heartbeat and leave the property rot.

    The 'proposal' one has to be the most annoying.

    "I have an idea love, ill sell one of the most cherished moments of our relationship to the highest bidder.

    And the best thing is love, it will look so contrived and fake that it will be hard for the viewer to believe we are a real couple"

    To be fair, you'd only know it's an older model Quasqai if you've owned or been in one yourself.
    Banks are too easy targets around here. They could produce the advert of the year and people will still give out because of the impersonal nature of business they're in.
